Jose Mourinho has been suspended by UEFA and several fines against Real Madrid players for “improper conduct” in ‘Cardgate.'

An investigation was opened after the former Inter Coach appeared to send messages to players Sergio Ramos and Xabi Alonso during the 4-0 win away to Ajax.

They were on yellow cards, so were ‘ordered' to receive a second for time-wasting in order to sit out the remaining group phase game, having a clean disciplinary record for the knockouts.

“The Spanish club's coach José Mourinho has been suspended from coaching activities for two UEFA club competition matches, of which the second is deferred for a probationary period of three years. He was also fined €40,000,” read a statement.
